Legend has it that Corporal Greiner got caught by poachers. They tied him head down a beech tree just above an anthill. In great distress he prayed to the Blessed Mother. A white deer bit the ropes in two, saving him from a certaqin death. In his great gratitude he put up an image of the Blessed Mother. Later on, a chapel was built. To the summit of Haugstein, the highest elevation in the Alpine foothills (895 m), it`s about 20 minutes. Right of the chapel a forest road leads to the district road, continuing forest the trail leads downhill to Engelhartszell.
